Aud -> ? -> tape (probably 3rd gen) -> wav (using Wavelab 5.0/Freefilter/Timeworks Mastering EQ) -> flac (level 8/using flac frontend)

Quality: 7.5 of 10

The tape sounds muffled, too much bass and drums (6 of 10). Did some equalizing with Freefilter and Timeworks Mastering EQ using Grow Fins (released on T'anks For The Mammaries) as reference track. If anybody of you has a 1st gen or better sounding 2nd gen tape please send a message.

Personnel:

Captain Beefheart/Don Van Vliet: vocals, tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone, bass clarinet

Eric 'Black Jew/Kitabo' Drew Feldman: bass guitar, keyboards, synthesizer

Drumbo/John French: drums, percussion

Jeff 'Tapir/White Jew' Moris Tepper guitar, slide-guitar

Feeler's Reedo/Walla Walla/Denny Walley: guitar, slide guitar

Harry Duncan: harmonica

John French:

We did several shows, the Old Roller Rink in Vancouver being the most memorable. We played Seattle, Portland, Eugene and ended up at the Golden Bear in Long Beach. It was a pleasure to play with the now more confident and professional Jeff (Moris) Tepper. Eric Feldman was a new acquaintance whom I found to be very generous and affable individual with an extremely diplomatic aura - one of the most well-balanced musicians I've ever met.

(Grow Fins)

Tom Troccoli:

Yeah, the infamous short '77 Tour with French back behind the kit. Truly, the best Beefheart band doing the best Beefheart gig I ever saw. Truly, and I DID see the old Zoot Horn Rollo (with Roy Estrada as 'Orejon' on bass) band in 1972. Denny was AMAZING. He was so completely wasted by Zappa in the FZ band.

Believe me, you WILL hear me shouting. For the early show I must've only been a few feet from the poor taper, for the late show I moved up to the very front of the stage so I am not quite so evident... thankfully!

Anyhow, the gig was NOT supposed to open with the then unheard Bat Chain Puller, but I already had my copy for over a year, so my pal Tom Brennan who I went with and I agreed that the moment Don took the stage, we rise as one and scream the phrase "FREE BAT CHAIN PULLER" as though it were being held as a political prisoner or something. Listen carefully and you'll hear Don say something like "Well, okay!" And THEN the band kicks into the tune. Remember, at this point NOBODY anywhere had heard the song, or the album, and Shiny Beast was still a year or more away.Voot Zombo:

saw both shows.

LA Weekly interviewer:

Drumbo was my favorite Beefheart drummer; I remember seeing him play at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach, when Beefheart had gotten the Magic Band back together in 1977.

Matt Groening:

I saw that show. Yeah, unbelievable.

Ross:

When I saw him at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach, California in 1977, he moved very slowly and seemed to keep his movements (gestures, etc.) to a minimum.

Chuck Burns:

But the best live CB show I ever saw was at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach, CA circa 1977. There were so few people that the Captain invited us first-show fans to stay for the second (and we did). Even with Larry "Wild Man" Fischer inviting himself to our table it was a great show, the be

Reviews:

"Excellent audience recording of a great early 80s show." -BobsBoots

"At times soulfully intimate and at others hard-rocking, this Knoxville '80 performance is overall an incredibly passionate experience, and my personal favorite gospel-era Dylan show. Yes, i've heard contract, massey hall, bloomfield, earl's court, avignon, child's balloon ... but this is the holy grail of gospel dylan shows." - Brian Sanders, seeder

Notes on crowd intrusions which were all much more annoying there than what comes out on the recording:

(a) before d1t9: someone succeeds in getting irritating girl couple to be quiet -- they had pushed their way upfront several songs earlier and began annoying everyone around with their singalong, talking, and offtime clapping;

(b) before d1t10 begins: the self proclaimed pig pushes in upfront to add some occasional sqeuals, clapping, laughter, and yelling;

(c) at begin of d1t12: space hog speaks as he tries to expand his territory -- his party of 3 managed to hold 2 empty prime 2nd row spots for entire night while everyone else was packed in upfront -- a person was trying to just occupy a newly opened spot someone not in space hog's party had left, but the space hog wanted that one kept empty too
